Hello - we are an Irish Indian family currently residing in the US. We’re looking to move to Dubai as our jobs have relocated us there. Any recommendations on what areas we should consider moving to? We’re coming from a strong community in NYC with a focus on family values. We’re mostly used to mixed ethnicity and culturally diverse families. We are looking at rentals in Jumeirah Park and Springs.

Thank you.

Hi - not sure if there is a way to privately message you as there is on other forums. Can you share the Facebook group name? Thank you!

I'd say that would depend on yours/your partner's job. We chose the Springs because it's a 15min drive to mine and my husband's offices, but it's a 40min bus ride to my children's school. When picking a school, I'd recommend checking out the KHDA official website, as they have a ranking system based on the previous year's school inspections results :) IIRC "Outstanding" is the highest rating a school can get in Dubai, which means it's a fantastic school but likely very pricey too. Also do check out the Expat Women in Dubai Facebook group, there's more of us there!

Hi! The Springs and Jumeirah Park are both good picks! There's a lot of families there. I'd also recommend Discovery Gardens, The Lakes, The Greens, Motor City, and The Springs - all these neighbours are close to schools, have community parks where lots of kids go out to play (mine included :'> my family and I live in the Springs), and a lovely family community. Wishing you luck on your move to Dubai!
